The only way I could see him going would be to a top 6 Premier league club and then he would be a bench warmer. Do you think Whits would want that? At the moment he is a big cog in a medium size machine if he went to a top Premier League club he would be a small cog in a big machine. Nah, hes staying where he is.![]()

Last season he scored 11 with 10 assists. He can see a killer pass like no other player i have ever seen at this club with perhaps the exception of koumas. This year we have seen him add another dimension to his game in the way he tackles and the ground he covers. The guy hardly ever gives the ball away (and thats not because he's a sideways and backwards player like a david batty).
I have read on here that you cant ask for too much for him cos he's 27 and people only pay big money for potential! My argument would be that in whitts you're not paying for potential but the finished article. He has never relied on pace so he is likely to go on at the same level til he's about 35 like paul scholes.
Personally wouldn't even sell him for 7 million as i think he is irreplacable for us.
You all know my stance on the current board and how i am over the moon with the way they are currently going about things but even i would be tamping if the board decided to sell whitts this month for anything less than 6 million.
What people need to remember is that january is a sellers market and if teams were to come in for whitts now they will be desperate to get him to save their season, and if we do sell him realistically it will probably be the end of our season as we will probably have to panic buy to replace him.
I hope Whitts isn't having his head turned by someone and i hope he realises that the grass is always greener on the other side and i'm sure if he was to ask chops or jay they would confirm that they would rather be back at cardiff than where they find themselves now!
Peter Whittingham is a Cardiff legend and i hope he stays and cements himself in cardiff city history![]()
